Bibliography of Colorado County
lack of an index. The volume does contain a good bit of useful information on
many of the city's businesses.
1-22. Holland, Mary Farrar. Stories That Have Been Told. Ann Arbor, Michigan: Ed-
wards Brothers, Inc., 1948. 279 pages. Hardbound. A former Columbus school-
teacher's scrapbook of photographs, anecdotes, and information. Virtually
worthless.
1-23. Hunter, John Warren. Heel-Fly Time in Texas. Bandera, Texas: Frontier Times,
c. 1930. 47 pages. Softbound. The story of the author's trip to and brief stay
in Columbus during the Civil War and his flight from the Heel Flies, written before
1915 (when the author died) and published originally in Hunter's Magazine. The
story is most intriguing, and provides a good picture of Columbus during the Civil
War. The identity of the rancher who plays a central role in the story is shielded
by a pseudonym, Cox. One might suppose that his identity could be discerned
by matching the information given about his family and the location of his ranch
to information provided by the 1860 or 1870 census and the deed records of
Colorado County; however, my own attempts to do so have failed.
1-24. Kilgore, Daniel Edmond. "Two Sixshooters and a Sunbonnet." Chapter (pp. 59-
71) in Francis Edward Abernathy, ed. Legendary Ladies of Texas. Dallas: E-Heart
Press, 1981. The best of the biographical sketches of Sally Scull, though the
author gives her last name as "Skull."
1-25. McCormick, Ralph D. A Prairie Kid Grows Up. Bryan: Ralph D. McCormick Pub-
lications, 1980. 114 pages. Hardbound with dust jacket. Softbound copies also

provide descriptions of the area and some of its people.

Publications, 1989. 118 pages. Hardbound. More of McCormick's recollections
of childhood.
1-27. Memorial Services Held in the House of Representatives of the United States,
Together with Remarks Presented in Eulogy of Joseph Jefferson Mansfield Late
a Representative from Texas. Washington: United States Government Printing
Office, 1950. 96 pages. Hardbound. The title says it all, and more. Mansfield's
colleagues in Congress take the opportunity to praise him after his death.

Columbus: Colorado Citizen, 1885. 115 pages. Indexed. Softbound.
